Quoted from ForceFlow:Precision milled aluminum is nice, but metal-on-metal movement and the need for grease is a big red flag to me and potential point of failure. Metal-on-metal movement is pretty much going to be a no-go long-term since they will end up grinding together, especially with the frequency of movement with these particular parts. Plus all the fine dust that will eventually gum up the joint. There's a reason why the only place where grease is used is in a sealed gearbox.
I would be interested to see what the mech looks like after at least 10,000 plays.
STNG uses metal on metal for the gun turrets. Sure they are gummed up 30 years later due to the original factory lube (Whatever type Williams used back then), but when cleaned and a new thin layer of grease like PBR's EM grease, there is no wobble, nor wear present.
